Bio:

Brought up in a strict traditional Chinese family, Jimmy’s father having emigrated from the Chinese mainland, Jimmy grew up on the rough streets of San Angelisco.

The influx of Chinese immigrants and the arrival of the Tongs in town had a big impact on his formative years at the hands of violent bullies and criminals, his father taught him kung-fu with which to instill in him discipline, pride and confidence to defy them. Eventually the harrassment peaked and no longer able to stand against the wave of peer pressure he was driven, against his father’s wishes and teachings; into the very Tong and street gangs themselves at the age of 14.

It wasn’t until his father’s restaurant was fire-bombed in retaliation in a Tong business deal gone wrong that he came to his senses and swore to bring peace and restore pride to the Chinese neighbourhoods and San Angelisco itself.

Freed from his father’s devices and the influence of the Tongs, Jimmy spends much of his time both on and off the job chasing a rush, free-climbing, base jumping and motorcycles being signifigant parts of his life.

With a strong sense of social justice, his heavy-fisted and explosive tactics in the field are the only thing that have kept him from his various promotions but despite his setbacks, he has a record clearance rate and a growing folio of high-profile arrests and cases often employing several of the less-savoury skills he picked up as a youngster to get results. Luckily, this saves his CO from the difficulties of lecturing him on the cost to the city and the almost-continous disciplinary action levelled at him. Initially serving with the SAPD Vice Squad, his history of misadventures and misfires has seen him relegated to the Special Crimes Unit in a last-ditch effort.

Due to his smaller asian stature, he has little effect in trying to intimidate the usual denizens of San Angelisco, leaving that to his various partners, many of whom find it difficult to keep up or approve of his methods and most ask for transfers, despite the benefits to their official statistics.
